Limits¶

A limit is comprised of two parts: the maximum number of elements to display and an optional offset, which will indicated how many elements from the start the Data Structure should really start. Both maximum and offset can use expressions, as defined above for filters, but do not need to match a field. So a typical configuration might look like that:

The Limit/Pagination configuration of a datafilter record

The above configuration returns a maximum number of 5 and an offset defined by a variable called "page". Note that the offset is not a number of elements, but a multiplier of the maximum number of items. The actual shift in the Data Structure is the result of the maximum number multiplied by the offset.

The "Start at item (pointer)" is a number that will directly shift the Data Structure to the corresponding item.
